General feature description in nextcloud/files-clients#9

Someone shares you a folder via public link and you want to interact with it.
Currently you are limited to use web only.

Idea is now to allow all clients to add this public link and use it like a real account

click add public link
enter url
now you can change between your real Nextcloud accounts and those public shares
    browsing on mobile
    uploading
    even auto upload files into it

On server (and thus then a separate issue):

on all public shared folders offer "add to clients"
    via e.g. special nc://share/ protocol clients can directly add it

This is first a rough idea, some things are to consider

how to check/show if a share is not available
proper handle read-only shares
do not allow re-shares
